after it was all done the soviet union was at the end of it's time. But when you look at all they had to do to just stop the disaster from becoming worse than it was, it was the worse accident ever already, and a lot of people died or are seriuosly disabled now because of this event! I can't say for sure that this was the straw that broke the camels back but it sure looks like it could have been and three years later the Berlin wall fell. Chernobyl is still a major risk to the planet as a whole if it starts to go active again due to failure of the shaky containment it would start spewing out radioactive emmissions into the air again. I will just say if you get the opportunity to see this then by all means watch it!
